The FIA has closed off a potential loophole in F1's cost cap regulations to prevent teams from using staff deployed in separate divisions.
These have all been successful and worked on multiple projects involving road cars, America’s Cup yachts, bicycles and other designs.
TD45, as it is known, states that while teams remain free to run these special projects divisions, any IP from them that is used by F1 teams must be accounted for under the cost cap, so cannot come from free sources within the same company. However, one leading F1 source with good knowledge of the situation said that TD45 had already had triggered changes.
Suspicions over teams exploiting the use of F1 staff deployed to outside operations has been prevalent since the start of the cost cap.team principal Otmar Szafnauer said earlier this year that bigger squads had found ways around employing staff so that they did not count for the cost cap.
